"Bedah jantung terbuka merupakan salah satu tindakan untuk memperbaiki kondisi kelainan anatomis pada pasien dengan berbagai kelainan jantung yang pasti menggunakan mesin CPB (Cardiopulmonary bypass). Penggunaan mesin ini menimbulkan hemodilusi yang berakibat pada penurunan kadar hemoglobin darah pascabedah. Pada pasien pediatrik, efek hemodilusi yang terjadi lebih besar dibandingkan dengan pasien dewasa. Penelitian sebelumnya berhasil mengidentifikasi bahwa sebagian besar pasien mengalami komplikasi pascabedah, dengan mortalitas sebesar 13,6%. Hemoglobin pascabedah dihipotesiskan menjadi faktor yang kuat dalam mortalitas pasien. Penelitian kohort retrospektif ini menghimpun data hemoglobin pascabedah dari rekam medik elektronik pasien yang menjalani bedah jantung terbuka di Pelayanan Jantung Terpadu Rumah Sakit Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo pada Januari 2021 hingga Desember 2022 dilanjutkan dengan uji komparatif pada kelompok dengan dan tanpa mortalitas. Total 317 pasien diikutkan dalam penelitian ini. Mortalitas secara umum sebesar 11,7%. Hemodilusi teramati pada populasi pasien. Tidak ditemukan perbedaan signifikan dari hemoglobin pascabedah pada kelompok pasien dengan dan tanpa mortality (p=0,249). Didapatkan pula besar penurunan Hb prabedah ke pascabedah berbeda secara signifikan pada kedua kelompok tersebut (p<0,05). Hemoglobin pascabedah tidak berhubungan dengan mortalitas pasien pediatrik.

Open heart surgery is a procedure aimed to correct anatomical abnormalities in patients with various heart conditions, invariably employing the use of a Cardiopulmonary Bypass machine. The use of this machine induces hemodilution, resulting in a decrease in postoperative blood hemoglobin levels. In pediatric patients, the hemodilution effect is more pronounced compared to adult patients. Previous study showed that a significant proportion of patients experience postoperative complications, with a mortality rate of 13.6%. Postoperative hemoglobin is hypothesized to be an important factor in patient mortality. In this study, a retrospective cohort observational study was conducted to compare postoperative hemoglobin levels in patients with and without mortality. The data were obtained from the medical records of patients undergoing open heart surgery at the Integrated Cardiac Services at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. Total of 317 patients included in this study and overall patient mortality was 11,7%. There was no significant difference in postoperative hemoglobin in the groups of patients with and without mortality (p=0,249). This study also found that the decrease in Hb from pre-surgery to post-surgery was significantly different between the two groups (p<0,05). Postoperative hemoglobin is not associated with mortality in pediatric patients."

"Turbulensi laju jantung (heart rate turbulence [HRT]) baru-baru ini dianggap sebagai prediktor terbaru paling kuat untuk terjadinya kematian mendadak (sudden cardiac death [SCD]) melebihi prediktor lain yang telah ada sebelumnya. Pasien penyakit jantung koroner yang menjalani reperfusi koroner ternyata memberikan hasil HRT lebih baik dan hal ini mencerminkan pulihnya respon baroreseptor.Penelitian ini akan membandingkan nilai turbulence onset (TO) dan turbulence slope(TS) pada dua jenis reperfusi (PCI dan fibrinolitik) Subjek menjalani monitoring EKG selama 24 jam setelah dilakukan revaskularisasi. TO ditentukan dengan cara mengukur perubahan relatif dua interval RR irama sinus setelah ekstrasistol ventrikel dan dua RR interval terakhir sebelum ekstrasistol ventrikel. TS dihitung dengan dengan mengukur slope maksimum yang dibuat tiap 5 buah RR interval. Terdapat 13 pasien (usia rata-rata 56 + 9 tahun) yang memenuhi syarat untuk ikut dalam penelitian. Sepuluh pasien menjalani fibrinolitik dan tiga pasien menjalani PCI. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna nilai TO antara kelompok PCI dan fibrinolitik (-3,3 + 1,7 % vs -0,2 + 0,9 %; P=0,03). Terdapat kecenderungan kelompok PCI memberikan nilai TS yang lebih baik dibanding kelompok fibrinolitik, walaupun secara statistik tidak signifikan ( 7,7 + 4,4 msec/RR interval vs 3,4 + 2,6 msec/RR interval; P = 0,056). Disimpulkan bahwa subjek dengan STEMI akut yang menjalani PCI mempunyai nilai TO yang lebih baik dibanding subjek yang menjalani terapi fibrinolitik.

Heart rate turbulence (HRT) as novel predictor of sudden cardiac death were superior to all other presently available indicators. HRT significantly was improves after successful reperfusion reflecting rapid restoration of baroreceptor response. We investigated turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS) values among patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent revascularization by means of primary PCI or fibrinolytic. We hypothesized that the values of TO and TS were different in two kinds of revascularization treatment. The subjects underwent 24 hours ECG recording after revascularization therapy. TO was quantified by the relative change of the first two sinus RR intervals following a ventricular premature beat (VPB) and the last two sinus RR intervals before the VPB. TS was quantified by the maximum positive slope of a regression line assessed over any sequence of five subsequent sinus rhythm RR intervals within the first two sinus rhythm intervals after a VPB. Thirteen patients (mean of age 56 + 9 years old) who underwent revascularization treatment of acute STEMI were eligible as subject of this study.Ten patients underwent fibrinolytic therapy and three patients underwent primary PCI. TO value was significantly different between PCI group and fibrinolytic group (-3.3 + 1.7 % vs -0.2 + 0.9 % ; P=0.03). The Primary PCI group has better outcome on turbulence slope value (TS) than fibrinolytic group but not significance (7.7 + 4.4 msec/RR interval vs 3.4 + 2.6 msec/RR interval; P = 0.056). In conclusion, TO was better in acute STEMI patient undergone PCI compare to that undergone fibrinolytic therapy."

"Latar belakang: Penyakit katup jantung merupakan penyakit yang disebabkan ketidakmampuan katup dalam menjalankan fungsinya dengan penyebab penyakit katup jantung yang paling umum yaitu demam rematik. Walaupun telah dilakukan pembedahan, readmisi terjadi dengan angka kejadian yang terus meningkat pada pasien pasca operasi katup jantung.. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengindentifikasi faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan readmisi pasien pasca operasi katup jantung. Desain yang digunakan yaitu crossectional dengan pendekatan retrospektif dengan sampel sebanyak 111 responden. Uji statistik menggunakan Chi Square alternatif exact fisher dengan signifikasi (α < 0,050) menunjukan adanya hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat pendidikan, dukungan keluarga, aktivitas fisik dan fleksibilitas, kepatuhan minum obat pengencer darah (warfarin) dengan  readmisi pasien pasca operasi katup jantung (p=0,047, p= 0,030, p= 0,030, p=0,029, p= 0,024). Direkomendasikan untuk pendidikan kesehatan pada pasien pasca operasi katup jantung dilakukan oleh perawat pendidik yang dapat memberikan edukasi kesehatan yang tepat sesuai dengan kondisi, dan mengembangkan metode untuk mencegah atau meminimalisir terjadinya readmisi, serta meningkatkan  pengetahuan dan pemahaman pasien readmisi pascaoperasi katup jantung.

Background: Heart valve disease is a disease caused by the inability of the valve to carry out its function with the most common cause of heart valve disesase, rheumatic fever. Despite surgery, readmissions occur with an increasing incidence. This study aims to identify the factors associated with patient readmissions after heart valve surgery. This research design used a cross -sectional with a retrospective approach with a sample of 111 respondents. Statictical test using Chi Square alternative exact fisher with significant ( α < 0,050) showed a significant relationship between education level, family support, physical activity and flexibility, adherence to taking blood thinners (warfarin) with patient readmission after heart valve surgery (p=0,047, p= 0,030, p= 0,030, p=0,029, p= 0,024). It is recommended that health education for post-heart valve surgery patients be carried out by educating nurses who can provide proper health education according to the conditions, and develop methods to prevent or minimize readmissions, as well as increase the knowledge and understanding of patients with postoperative heart valve readmissions."
